Helena's House Reno's

My husband and I bought our house back in 2009. We loved it's location, situated in the Gold Coast hinterland, but it was extremely dated and needed a LOT of work done. I have always had an interest for reno shows and Mr is a bit of a handy man so we were up for the challenge. There are still a few little bits to do inside and we are still in the process of finishing our rumpus room downstairs, however we are really ready to get stuck into the outside of the house, one to give it street appeal and two to provide a flat play area for our little one as our house is on a slope and is split level.

This Easter weekend we are getting stuck in and will hopefully make a big start on our exterior makeover! Below are some of the pics I found that are the inspiration behind the look we are going for! I love the contrast of the black and white and mostly how the black makes the any greenery around the house stand out. We have lots of trees around our house so hopefully the new house colour will compliment its surroundings.
